Historical Information and Purpose:

The McDonnell Douglas F-4B Phantom II is one of the most important combat aircraft of the late 1950s and 1960s, used primarily by the United States Navy (US Navy) and the Marine Corps (USMC). The F-4B variant was extensively used during the Cold War and the Vietnam War (1965–1975) as an air superiority fighter as well as a ground attack aircraft.
